BREAKFAST:
Do you want water?Are you hydrating? Do you want a slice of lemon with it?

(K)

SUMMER:

I can’t see your face,
So I don’t know it’s you until I hear your voice,
Though it could be a recording

(K)

DRUNK:

The cup is full of sugar,
The man is in the corner,
Talking to his hand,
The nervous woman laughs after everything she says

(K)

CALM:

Have you seen the trailer?

(K)

SWEET THING:

Do you want to walk with me?
I’m not asking for a dance

(K)

I LOVE YOUR HAIR IN THE MORNING:

Two olive trees standing on terracotta graph paper,
A broken bottle,
A boot scraper,
The words you swore at me

(K)

HOME:

Untainted by the cynicism of age,
You can do it

(K)

JAPANESE DOOR:

The boy comes out from behind the man,
The light that shines,
The splintered earth,
The switch is flicked
Between the cracks,
The camera clicks

(K)

BASEBALL:

Here comes Black Dog through the crowd,
Patient and understanding,
Weaving amongst legs,
Connoisseur of denim and iconic footwear

(K)

LIFE BELT:

The skinny ones talk to the muscular ones,
Fresh from the gym,
Stopping to stroke the dogs of the women in body warmers,
Who widen their eyes,
And scrape back their hair,
During conversation to reveal their necks
